Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow.

Decisions made in my past that helped me learn or grow are ignoring what people say.  I believe that in this world there are 80 out of 100 people who think of doing something big and leave their idea there as soon as they think of people.  They feel that what will people say if I fail?  Sometimes what people say makes us feel so bad that we are never able to free ourselves from that pain.  Leave aside the aim of moving forward in life, we even forget our everyday happiness. People who pay more attention to the bad things of others remain restless in their lives.  If we want to find happiness and peace in our life and want to do something, then we should ignore the bad things of others.

Similarly, when I started writing a blog, my family asked what would happen if I did it.  It is useless to work so hard for so much money.  But I didn’t listen to anyone.  I was fond of writing.  And I wanted to fulfill my hobby. We come across many things which we do not like at all but we have to live with them.  You can’t change bad things, you just have to figure out how to avoid them.  Just as there are thorns on every branch along with flowers, similarly there are all kinds of people in society.  In this society, some good things happen and bad things are also seen.  If you fight every evil, you will waste your precious time in it.  All your energy will also be wasted in this. Positive attitude is the most important thing in the world.  All our goodness comes from how positivity we look at life.  Any person fails in the outside world on many occasions and there are dilemmas within him too, but in every situation, only a positive attitude towards life helps.  A positive attitude means ignoring things in a big way.


We come across many things which we do not like at all but we have to live with them.  You can’t change bad things, you just have to figure out how to avoid them.  Just as there are thorns on every branch along with flowers, similarly there are all kinds of people in society.  In this society, some good things happen and bad things are also seen.  If you fight every evil, you will waste your precious time in it.  All your energy will also be exhausted in this.

The idea of fighting evil is like plucking all the thorns from a rose plant to get a rose without thorns.  After a few days the thorns will emerge again.  If you plant another rose plant, it will also have thorns.  So we have no control over this.  What we cannot do is to create a new variety of rose which has flowers but does not have thorns.  Exactly similar is the case with human society also.  The same thing happens here that there will always be someone who will make you angry.  It will create an unpleasant situation and you cannot be completely free from it, it will always be there.  You should find a way to avoid it.  When you learn to ignore, you will be able to come out of such situations. The whole point is that we get angry, emotional and get entangled with things.  People think that if problems are eliminated then peace will come, but peace will never come by eliminating problems.  By the time you solve one problem, another one will arise.  This sequence will continue and you will keep moving in this circle.  Therefore, if you want to get out of the problem then learn to ignore it.
